Hi Customer (name blocked for privacy)-

Some people do have flu like symptoms when they first contract HIV, however these are usually more along the lines of body aches, headaches and fever. Sneezing and congestion are not indicitive of HIV.

You should get another HIV test done in a few more months. Although the test you took was most likely accurate, it is recommended that a person be tested two months, six months and one year after possible infection.
